[12-22-11] LightSquared<\/b> has filed a petition with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)<\/b> to confirm its right to use the spectrum licensed to the company by the federal government, the 4G-LTE wholesaler announced Dec. 21.
\n \u201cThe one inescapable conclusion from two rounds of independent testing is that the incompatibility problem is not caused by LightSquared\u2019s network,\u201d LightSquared Executive Vice President for Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy Jeff Carlisle said in a statement. \u201cIt is clear that GPS devices are purposefully designed to look into LightSquared\u2019s licensed spectrum, and given this evidence, we believe decision-makers should consider LightSquared\u2019s legal rights as the licensee.\u201d
\n LightSquared asserted in the petition that commercial GPS receivers are not licensed, do not operate under any service rules, and thus are not entitled to interference protection.
\n Carlisle emphasized his company\u2019s assertion that the GPS industry has been on notice for almost 10 years that LightSquared was planning to launch a nationwide broadband network and that the FCC had confirmed this statement. \u201cWhile we ask the FCC today to confirm our legal rights, LightSquared remains fully committed to cooperate with all parties \u2013 the GPS industry, GPS users, and the federal government \u2013 to ensure that LightSquared\u2019s network is deployed in a way that is compatible with GPS users.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
